Course description
Certified Financial Modeler - Advanced Financial Modeling Using Excel and VBA
Formulating and comprehending financial models is one of the most sought after skills in today's business and finance landscape. Microsoft Excel with Visual Basic for Application (VBA) macros programming has been the most prevalent medium used by finance and corporate professionals in the preparation and utilization of the full range of financial models and other applications.
However, as a result of the so called ‘95/5’ rule it can be concluded that 95% of Excel users probably only use a mere 5% of the program’s power. Most users know that they could be getting more out of Excel especially by using VBA which would result in them being able to build more flexible, dynamic and professional models. Unfortunately, many professionals view these programmes as intimidating and prefer to stay by their tried and TRUE methods.
This intensive 5 day workshop begins with the basics and moves forward step-by-step to the more complex and rewarding tools needed to build more robust models that save time, reduce unnecessary human errors and customize applications that would be impossible to achieve with suboptimal models. Every section is followed by a direct application related to the financial markets and financial issues.
